When we are attacked, assaulted, or our homes are broken into, we call people with GUNS. Most of the time, it’s too late and the damage is done. Some people say GUN CONTROL.

In Illinois, we have gun control. The crooks have guns, the law abiding citizens don’t. Crooks can shoot us; we can’t shoot them. The people you have to worry about are the “really sick” and those who want what you have and are willing to assault or kill you to get it. In the "batman movie shooting", the shooter went to two other theaters before going to the one that said “NO GUNS ALLOWED INSIDE”. That’s the one he went into.

Guns don’t kill people, people kill people with anything they can get their hands on and sometimes even with their hands. So taking away guns is not going to help.

Under the second amendment we have the right to carry guns and protect ourselves and our children. Texas has the right idea. Arm the teachers. PROTECT OUR CHILDREN.
